Wow, Manny. Guess who isn't aging well?

For me, no chick flick-fest is complete without a little Jane Austen. I'd watch Sense and Sensibility, Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice (the good version with Colin Firth, of course ). I think I might have just planned my Labor Day activities!

I want my chick flicks to be romantic and sappy, not sad. That means no Nicholas Sparks and no movies where people die tragically (those are pretty much the same thing actually) :nono

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' - Isaac Asimov

I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said, "... I drank what?"

I am the same way. I want happy endings. No crying over dead characters. Happy tears are another thing!

Most of my favorites are on this list but one of my favorites is Never Been Kissed. I adore that movie. Perhaps it's because when she describes that perfect kiss and you will just know that's the one you are destined to be with is exactly how I felt the first time I kissed my husband.

I also like Ever After. Drew Barrymore is a good one to watch for those romantic sappy times!

Re: Best Chick-Flicks?

Oh, justCoz... I love Never Been Kissed. I could watch that one often, and have. "That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time."

I also love 13 Going on 30... great chick stuff and 80s music to boot.

Somebody to Love with Ashley Judd... for some reason I enjoy that one.

Bridget Jones' DiaryPretty WomanBreakfast at Tiffany's or any other Audrey Hepburn movie...Somewhere in Time a HUGE favorite of mine... and love seeing Mackinac Island highlighted wellFather of the Bride awwwww
